Guan Tong kept thinking about this case even after returning to his room at Lihua Hotel from the Police Departnt.
Thinking back on it now still gave him chills. If he had been tricked into opening the door back then, with them planning against his unpreparedness, he would most likely have been ambushed first by those two young n.
Even if he had detected their malicious intent and confronted them directly, whether he could win against two opponents remained uncertain.
Previously, Guan Tong hadn't held much hope, as one cannot fight against overwhelming odds. But ever since he consud that bottle of 【Gene Optimization Serum】 obtained from the Glory-level box, besides the imdiate increase in his 【Mind Power】 upper limit, he felt all aspects of his body were gradually strengthening over ti.
Although there were no detailed data test records, Guan Tong could sense that he had beco faster, had better stamina, and had gained so strength compared to before.
It was hard to say whether these changes ca from the 【Gene Optimization Serum】 or the increased 【Mind Power】 upper limit, but ultimately it was a good thing that didn't need overthinking.
Guan Tong felt that with his enhanced body, he might be able to handle two opponents bare-handed—but if the other side carried weapons or used 【Mind Power】 items, that would be different.
He had previously seen so people publicly showing off their 【Mind Power】 items online.
There was a boxing coach whose 【Mind Power】 item was a pair of boxing gloves. When worn, by consuming 【Mind Power】, he could gain a significant strength boost, and with a full-power strike, he could even shatter a solid rock!
That boxing coach specifically posted a video online showing himself wearing the gloves and smashing rocks to boast, with many people leaving comnts expressing envy.
This was exactly what worried Guan Tong.
If those suspected kidnappers possessed offensive 【Mind Power】 items, their combat power would undoubtedly increase. With the elent of surprise, they could achieve very effective results.
That's why Guan Tong began attempting to add words to the 【Wordless Book】. He wanted to develop offensive attributes for his own 【Mind Power】 item, not to harm others, but to have the power to defend and protect himself when facing danger.
"Moreover, why are they kidnapping people with high 【Mind Power】? What do they plan to do with them?"
Guan Tong couldn't figure it out.
【Mind Power】 couldn't be transferred to others, and 【Ascension Coins】 currently couldn't be traded through targeted objects, so even if they captured people, what could they gain? Forcing them to work loyally?
But with such crude capture thods, how would those captured willingly work loyally?
And doing this would quickly draw the Police Departnt's attention.
Now that the national population had drastically decreased, every individual had beco extrely valuable. Those with high 【Mind Power】 were especially key targets for support. Capturing them ant directly opposing the authorities, who would definitely strike hard.
This case of Guan Tong's proved it—those two guys knocked on doors last night, and today their bodies were found. Such high efficiency showed how seriously the Police Departnt took these cases.
"For caution's sake, I need to be more careful recently," Guan Tong thought. "And I can't easily reveal that my 【Mind Power】 upper limit exceeds 80, otherwise I might inevitably attract unwanted attention from certain people."
Over the next few days, Guan Tong stayed in room 306 of Lihua Hotel, never stepping foot outside.
The authorities did send him a free housing application form, but he didn't fill it out.
Like many others in the hotel, he felt living there was quite good. This large hotel had accompanying bars, gyms, laundry rooms, and even a swimming pool—all living facilities were complete. People took turns maintaining them, making life very convenient.
Others choosing to live here might also have factors like fear of loneliness. At least here, large groups gathered in the lobby every morning to encourage each other and maintain stable ntal states.
As for Guan Tong, it was more for safety considerations. With many people in the hotel familiar with each other, they could jointly resist dangers. Plus, it was very close to the Police Departnt—a phone call could bring Peace Officers within minutes.
During this period, he repeated the process of adding words, recovering 【Mind Power】, and adding words daily. Occasionally, Xu Xiaotian living next door in 305 would chat with him or invite him out, but he mostly declined.
He also took the opportunity to warn Xu Xiaotian, telling him that there were suspected criminal gangs in Yunhua kidnapping people with high 【Mind Power】, advising him to be careful when outside and not to casually reveal his 【Mind Power】 value.
Five days passed like this. After Guan Tong used up another 【Food Boxes】, he finally completed the last stroke of adding words.
"Physical..."
Guan Tong wielded the pen to write the final small horizontal stroke of the character "Physical
